   How do I make a will?

   • A will can be made on any sheet of paper and follow any format, provided it is signed by you and witnessed as required by the law.

   Can you add a note to a will?

   • You can't make amendments to your will after it has been signed and witnessed. So putting a note and initialling it won't count. Instead, you'll have to make an official alteration called a codicil. This must be signed and witnessed in the same way as a will. There are no limits to the number of codicils you can add to a will.

   Can a witness inherit a will?

   • Witnesses cannot inherit anything as beneficiaries, although they can be named as executors. If your will leaves anything to a witness, the whole document could be invalid. Executors are people that carry out your wishes in accordance with your will. It's best practice to name more than one executor (or one executor and a substitute).
